An ancient skill
From the Roman’s making their garum to modern-day fish rillettes lavishly spread onto fresh bread, sardines always seem to be flavour of the month here, and with good reason.
There are 3 canning factories (‘conserveries’ in French) that continue to trade in the area, sharing their gastronomic skills in preserving sardines, mackerel, tuna and plenty of other seafood. Treat yourself to a few of their products in the local boutiques or even book yourself onto one of the site visits and see how it’s all made!
